Planning Fees

[Patricia Baston]

Following the fee increase in December, what is the new fee for planning applications which are only required because of an Article 4 Directive, the old fee used to be £96?

Also, what is the planning fee for works to a small HMO?  It is my understanding that small HMO's have the same permitted development rights as a C3 dwelling, so if an applicant wants to change the windows to a different design and materials on a property which was not covered by an Article 4 directive or perhaps want to build a small extension on the back of the property to enlarge the shared facilities.  Would the new fee be £258 or £295?

 

[Ian Walmsley]

Any £96 fee is now £120

You do not need to apply for the permitted development rights. You can just go ahead as long as you are compliant with Part 1 for dwellings.

However if you wanted a certificate of lawfulness, that is now £258 to confirm that something that was erected or changed was compliant. If it is a proposed use or development that is £129
